Angry Birds Friends Green Day Update Now Available

Update: As of 13 December, Rovio has announced that the “Green Day” episode of Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will be discontinued and removed completely.Update: As of 20 December, the “Green Day” episode has been removed from Angry Birds: Friends.

This is actually a little bit of a surprise. While we reported a few days ago that there would be a Facebook-centered collaboration between Rovio and the alternative / punk band Green Day, there are two big differences in what we expected.

Foremost, the update has already arrived! Usually Rovio likes to dangle the idea of an update for a week or so, but not this time. They decided to wake us up well before September even arrives! And second, these levels are available as an update within the existing Angry Birds Friends app on Facebook (v1.6.0).

This update includes:

10 new levels to rock out to, featuring speakers, amps, and guitars scattered across the levels. All our walkthrough videos are live, so if you need help be sure to check them out.

One heart-shaped “Heart Like a Hand Grenade” (aka, “Golden Grenade”), which is basically a Golden Egg. Our Complete Angry Birds Facebook Golden Egg Guide has been updated with the walkthrough (at the bottom). For those who want a little bit of context, it’s two-fold. First, if you look at the cover for the Green Day album “American Idiot”, it features a heart-shaped hand grenade. Second, filmed during the recording of “American Idiot”, there was a video called “Heart Like a Hand Grenade” was released in 2008 featuring Green Day.

Embedd-able Gameplay! Just as with Surf & Turf and Pigini Beach on Facebook, users can embed these levels to share their progress. Embedded levels do not include power-ups, but they can be fun nonetheless.

Leaderboards! Not only can you compete against your Facebook friends, but you will be able to compete against some of the best Facebook players in the world on our Facebook Leaderboards. Scores using power-ups are welcome there, but please justify your score with detailed strategies at least.

The levels do look interesting, I’ll say that much. I too would like to see them added to Abo, or even a separate app of all the other web games, bundled into one. But it might be a long wait, if indeed it happens at all. One can dream, anyway!!

Actually, I’m not a very big fan of Green Day. Although I do have a Green Day song in my iPod, it is actually a collaboration cover between the band and the cast of American Idiot (the musical). The song is “21 Guns.” However, as with anything with Angry Birds with it, the new levels are still fun, and especially the Golden Grenade level where you get the heck out of the pig caricatures of the band. I don’t know if the big fans of the band will be “scared” to do that level, their still pigs after all.

I can say though that level 3 is hard, especially that you guaranteed to have blind curves from Boomerang.

The song is the first single off their upcoming album. The point of the app is to promote their three new albums, so that is why it was chosen. I can almost guarantee that when Dos and Tre come out that the songs on the game will change to whatever songs they are pushing as the singles for those albums.

What is the thing you can unlock?? is that the “golden grenade”?? I want to know what you get if you have unlock that?? does anyone know that?? (I’m dutch and not very good in english so i hope you understandthis message! :p)

Signed into Facebook and brought up the game. Played the first level, obtained 2 stars with no power ups (not a great score.) Noticed that 5 MEs were provided. I assume that one will have to purchase the ME when the 5 are used. These facebook games seem like a whole new set of AB games from the view of using a mouse and a computer. This does take some getting use to. Seems less precise when compared to the iPad or iPhone but that may be due to my “newness” to the Facebook games. Will try to 3 star the 10 levels but wonder if it can be accomplished without PUs. So far this level was fun to play.

Hi @wrw01, If you log onto facebook’s Angry Birds Friends every day, you automatically receive free MEs or power up gifts – not always MEs but fortunately fairly often. You also receive free power ups when you play each level of the Weekly Tournament. If you don’t play against anyone, you will naturally “win” and receive (at the end of each Tournament), “6 X each power up” for being 1st. I managed to save up over 250 of them over a few months so that I could play ME on the Surf & Turf levels and possibly the newer levels if I like playing with them enough and don’t waste too many. (So far I’ve only won 12 feathers – it’s harder than it looks.) I play on a PC so do not have access to ME or power ups on any of my regular games. I save the MEs like this because I have no intention of paying for any power ups or eagles on any of the games.

I’ve given the above info. in answer/reply to your statement “I assume that one will have to purchase the ME when the 5 are used”. (The short reply being: No, you don’t have to pay for them :) )

Re the PC game being “less” precise, I have no problems with it but of course I’m the opposite to you, I’ve never played on a touchscreen.

I also agree with @thetoddman23 in that you shouldn’t have a problem 3 starring any of the levels without PUs because you are a good player – being in the top 50 on the ABO Leaderboard is very impressive in my book.

P.S. Regular AB games played on PC are stable with no screen bobbing up and down movements like it does on quite a few of the facebook levels. One of the facebook levels was so bad it made me feel like I was on a boat and drove me nuts – I commented on it somewhere here on ABN – can’t remember which level though.

@chicadee Wow!!! Thank you so much for the insight and advice. It is greatly appreciated. I am going to play all the FB levels and with your advice they are not so strange now. I have not experienced the bobbing yet but from what you and others have mention it will be there. Appreciate the info about the free ME (I love MEs and SEs and usually do them first before the 3 Stars) and the free PUs. I am trying to remember to log into Space each day to get those free SE so will just add the FB levels to the list.

Is anyone notice in the video that there one level are NOT added to the apps (watch in the blues gameplay, im not sure about the video timing) ? I’ve got the feeling there will be more level for Green day :)

I haven’t tried the AB Friends yet but I think I’m going to start tonight. I’ll be off of work for the next 2-3 days maybe even 4 days bcz of Tropical Storm Isaac. I live about 10 miles west of New Orleans so these next few days will be quite interesting. I finally got 3 stars on this last space update. Now I’m working on 3 starring Seasons.
